Wh1tney's Projection Argument

Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Whitney in his report
calls attention to the fact that the
contracts for the armOr and gun.steel
are made in this country at prices
v $3.50. ~ nor cent of the European
price for the similar articles, which
he says is not greater than the diff
erence in labor between the two
countries, Notwithstanding the heavy
outlay for plant ESTIMATED at 81, $780,
000) necessary to be made to under
take the contract.
The Secretary speaks of this result
as highly gratifying, and shows how
the expenditure of the money for the
new cruisers in this country instead
of abroad has stimulated the ship
builders to unusual efforts, and has
developed the fact that on account of
the use of superior tools armor for
the secondary batteries of ships can
be made here and sold for prices less
than the Government paid for its
foreign-made arms, and as low as
they are produced for any foreign
government. 1t is believed, he says,
that our private shipyards can pre-
cure war ships equal and perhaps
superior to those produced when
thess industries shall be established.
The Secretary heartily believes in the
policy of fostering these industries.
1T is fatal mistake" he says. "for
this country to be dependent on any
other nation for its implements of
war;"
If it is sound policy to build ships
and guns here rather than abroad,
even at an increase of % per cent in
the cost, why is it not equally wise
to make the iron and steel from
which they are manufactured If
the stimulant arising from Govern
ment expenditure for these things
promotes their manufacture, with the
result of improving their quality and
their production, why is
not the fostering of other articles of |
manufacture by a Protec-
tive tariff a wise policy? The Sec
rotary of the Navy thus supplies an
for the Protective policy
which sadly punctures the Presi-
dents amateur essay on Free Trade.

The Dependent Pension Bill.

President Cleveland is going to
have another opportunity to veto the
Dependent Bill, unless the Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions can be per-
suaded to smother the measure, and
not permit it to appear where it can
be taken up and openly considered
by the full House. About twenty
men in the House have declared their
intention to introduce bill indenti-
cial or similar in character to the one
vetoed by the President last year.
The bill adopted by the G. A. r. at
st. Louis will be the one pushed most
vigorously. 1t is stated upon excel
lent authority that number of Dem.
ocratic members have begged Speaker
carlisle to put them on the Invalid
Pension Committee, as they have a
large soldier constituency ana do not
want to be responsible for smother.
ing the bill in committee, for that is
to be the edict of the administration.
AT least one Republican, who will
be on the committee which will con.
slider the Dependent Pension bill, has
said that if the committee is going to
hold the measure back and not report
it, the position of chairman of that
committee will be the most uncom.
Portable one ever held in the capital
that the friends of the measure. who
make a majority of the House, are
determined to smoke it out of the
committee ana make fair fight fol
it on the floor. Those who have
talked with the President recently
about the bill say that his mind il
unchanged, and that if it is agar
passed, it will be vetoed, as before.

The Savannah (Ga,) Ne,OS states
that an important and increasing
business of that port is the shipment
of pig iron from the furnaces of Ala
bama and Upper Georgia. Every
year, says the Neaos, this class of
freight has shown an increase, and it
predicts that the day is not far dis
tant when special ships will have to
be provided to carry it. Every
steamer going to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York, and some
times those for Boston, take out as a
part of their cargos this product of
Southern mines. The iron now
comes by way of Montgomery or At
lanta. When the direct rail line is
opened between Savannah and Bir-
mingham there will doubtless be
large increase in iron freights.

The steamer City OF o5C INV -.-.-e-.
arrived at San Francisco Thursday
last brought the details of one of the
most appalling disasters of modern
times, caused by flood in the Yell
low river in a province of China.
The river broke its banks on Septem-
Der 28th, and inundated Ching Chow
and ten other populous cities. What
once was a rich and densely populated
plain is now lake ten to thirty feet
deep. The loss of life is incalcuIable,
and millions of the inhabitants are
homeless and starving. The present
lake was the bed of the river centuries
ago; the former bed of the river is
dry.

A Message in Explanation Of Message


1t is being said by Democrats that
the Presidents tariff message has
been SO generally and grieyously mis-
understood that he may find it neces-
sary to send another to Congress to
show just where he does stand on
this important question.
The message, while not exactly a
model of style, is in clear enough
English to be understood by every
body who has ordinary familiarity
with the language. If there has been
any misunderstanding with regard
to the message it is not as to its
meaning, but relates to misunder-
standing of its effect growing out Of
a misconception Of the popular feel
ing.
Mr.. Cleveland does not understand
the tariff question. He does not re-
aIize how well informed the people
are concerning practical free trade
and practical protection, although
they may not in every case be able
to discuss theory with the college
professors and other free trade doe
trinaires. Mr.. Cleveland allowed
some industrious free traders to cap
ture HIM and do his thinking for
him; and this is why he finds him
self and his party i'll trouble. This
is why he is thinking of sending in
another message to explain the first.
If the President desires to deliver
himself in language not understood
by the majority of his countrymen,
he should have the explanatory mes
sage translated in Volapuk. - Wheel

The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday
says: President Baughman, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany, gives notice that the interest
overdue since January l. 1887, on the
S5OO,O 600 Of repair bonds of 1873 will
be paid on and after January 3, 1888.
This will relieve the canal from the
danger of foreclosure that would have
been imminent in the event of de-
fault in three successive interest pay
ments. The State Legislature can
therefore maturely consider all plans
Of relief for the canal that may be
presented.

The Great Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10
What threatens to be the most SER
lous strike that has occurred in the
East in years began at midnight on
the Philadelphia & Reading railroad
systems. The trouble will involve
directly sixty thousand men. On
Thursday crew was discharged at
Taylor's elevator, on the Delaware
river, because 1t would, not handle
flour along with a scab crew that had
been hired by the elevator owner. On
Friday two thousand coal passers,
hremen and engineers struck because
the elevator owners persisted in EN-.
ploying scab labor. Yesterday af.
ternoon convention of the employees
of the company was held here, and it
was decided to order out all the
freight-handlers. engineers, coal
miners and all the employees except
those running the passenger trains.
The most serious feature of this
affair is that it cuts off the coal sup
ply of Philadelphia and the eastern
cities. There is not more than one
weeks supply here, and there is no
telling whatthe prices will be. Apart
from the famine that is threatened,
this trouble is to test the strength of
the Knights of Labor and to show
whether they will run the road or
whether President Austin Corbin
will manage it, OF the sixty thous
and men ordered out to-day, thirty
thousand are coal miners in the
Schuylkill region. AS the Lehigh
